In reply to the discussion: DU is making me sad. [View all]stillwaiting
(3,795 posts)The coalition has been fractured due to massive amounts of corruption that many of us feel and see clearly.
The Democratic Party is pulling away rapidly, forcefully, and undeniably from many of us. The amounts of corruption and collusion that have been employed forcefully during this Primary could very well be unforgivable.
This is the obvious result of that.
This primary election is different, and I am quite glad. I am very possibly done being taken for granted, mocked, and ridiculed by a political Party that demands I continue voting for them. There is a very real possibility that I will have to leave the Democratic Party depending on what happens with this primary, and I have voted in every Democratic primary and for every Democratic politician that has been on my ballot for 2 decades.
We have a desperate need for reform. If Democratic voters don't seize this opportunity, I believe many will leave the Party. To be fair, many Hillary supporters want this to happen as well. I don't care what these people think. I care how I feel, and I will take the actions I feel I must after this primary.
I voted for Bernie today. Hopefully many others do as well. I don't want to leave the Democratic Party. But, I may have to do so. The day I decide to do that will be the last day I post here.
